Austin Young Chamber will address the city’s transportation issues in its next LEAD Series about area policy and economic concerns. The “Future of Transit in Austin” event will feature Capital Metro CEO and President Randy Clarke as the speaker, addressing Capital Metro’s Project Connect Vision Plan and the future of mobility in the Austin region.

The session will take place Oct. 25 at 11:30 a.m., at Texas Mutual Insurance’s headquarters in the Mueller development. Registration is available here.
